With the 2020 football seasons for Drake and Northern Iowa having already been postponed through decisions outside the Missouri Valley Conference, the MVC Presidents Council announced Friday that all remaining fall sports have been postponed and moved to the spring amid the coronavirus pandemic.
For Drake and UNI, that means no 2020 competition in men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country and volleyball. Pair this decision with previous ones from the Pioneer Football League and Missouri Valley Football Conference, and it's set to be an empty fall in Cedar Falls and Des Moines.
“This decision is another in the long list of difficult decisions our student-athletes have endured in the last six months,” Drake athletics director Brian Hardin said in a school release.
